Example: Convert 2.4 liters to cups.
- Start with 2.4 liters.
- Multiply 2.4 by 4.22675.
- 2.4 × 4.22675 = 10.1442 cups (rounded to 4 decimals, 10.1336 due to slight rounding difference).
Conversion Example
- Convert 1.5 liters to cups:
- Multiply 1.5 by 4.22675.
- 1.5 × 4.22675 = 6.3401 cups.
- Result: 1.5 liters equals about 6.3401 cups.
- Convert 3 liters to cups:
- 3 × 4.22675 = 12.6803 cups.
- So, 3 liters is approximately 12.6803 cups.

Conversion Definitions
Liters: Liters is a unit of volume in the metric system used for measuring liquids and gases. One liter equals 1,000 cubic centimeters or one cubic decimeter. It is widely used in many countries for everyday liquid measurements such as water, milk, and fuel.
Cups: Cups is a volume measurement commonly used in cooking, particularly in the US customary system. One US cup equals 8 fluid ounces or about 236.588 milliliters. Cups are used to measure liquid and dry ingredients in recipes and food preparation.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the conversion factor for liters to cups have so many decimals?
The factor 4.22675 is precise because cups and liters come from two different measurement systems with different base units. The calculated decimal value ensures accuracy when converting between metric and US customary units, especially for cooking or scientific purposes where precision matters.
Can I use this conversion for UK cups instead of US cups?
No, UK cups differ in size from US cups. One UK cup is approximately 284.13 milliliters, larger than the US cup of about 236.588 ml. So if you convert 2.4 liters using the US-based factor, it won’t match UK cups correctly.
Is this conversion valid for both liquids and dry ingredients?
The conversion applies to volume, so it works for liquids perfectly. For dry ingredients, volume-to-volume conversions like cups to liters work, but density differences between substances may affect weight-based measurements.
Why might my measurement in cups differ slightly when converting from liters?
Variations can occur due to rounding of the conversion factor, measuring tool accuracy, or temperature changes affecting volume. Cups used in different countries or measuring sets might not be exactly the same size.
How can I convert cups back to liters?
To convert cups to liters, divide the number of cups by 4.22675. For example, if you have 10 cups, then 10 ÷ 4.22675 equals approximately 2.365 liters.
